The Football Association’s decision not to punish Fernando Torres for his scratch on Jan Vertonghen has prompted chairman Greg Dyke to call for a change to disciplinary rules.

The Chelsea striker was clearly caught on camera sticking his fingers into the face of Vertonghen during a feisty London derby at White Hart Lane, but couldn’t be given retrospective punishment as the officials has seen part of the incident.

Speaking at the Leaders in Football conference at Stamford Bridge, Dyke said such a decision ‘can’t be right’ and vowed to look into the game’s disciplinary rules again.
